Tickets went on sale Monday evening for the 2015 Memphis Brewfest, which is set for 4 p.m. on Saturday, April 18, at AutoZone Park.

Organizers say the sixth edition of the Downtown Memphis beer festival may be the best yet, with new features planned. Among them: special tastings in some newly constructed parts of the stadium, along with a German Beer Garden on the right field deck.

The event, which is the biggest beer fest in Memphis, features international beers, craft beers and local homebrews. The festival will serve as the kickoff for the 3rd annual Memphis Beer Week, which runs April 18-25 (details coming soon on Beer Week events).

Tickets are $42 and can be purchased online now. The price goes up to $45 on April 11.

All net proceeds from the festival benefit Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy and the Memphis Redbirds Foundation.

A crowd of 2,000 beer lovers converged Saturday on AutoZone Park for the 4th Annual Memphis Brewfest, a celebration of American craft beers and international brews.

The 2013 festival, with more than 165 different beers sampled, was a big success. It rained, and the Grizzlies were playing the Clippers in Game 3 of the playoffs a few blocks away at FedExForum, and the festival still sold out on Saturday morning. Thankfully, there was covered space for all the booths in the concourse area of AutoZone Park, so everyone could stay dry.

The festival capped off the inaugural Memphis Beer Week, with beer tastings, beer dinners, firkin nights and pint nights all across town.

Memphis’ High Cotton Brewing, which has just started brewing at its new facility on Monroe, had samples of its Saison and Scottish Ale at Memphis Brewfest.

The Bluff City Brewers & Connoisseurs served up some great homebrew, including the “High C’s” IPA, Extracurricular Hoptivity IPA, Rauch Me Like a Hurricane and Strange Fruit Watermelon Wheat, just to name a few.

In addition to its year-round beers, Nashville’s Yazoo Brewing Company had two special beers on tap — a barrel-aged version of its Sly Rye Porter, as well as the New Belgium sour collaboration “Rufus.”

Yazoo also gave away this awesome custom big wheel to this lucky guy.

The mission of Memphis Brewfest is to raise awareness of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. All net proceeds from the festival benefit Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy and the Memphis Redbirds Foundation.
